All on stage for disability: an empowering programme by APF France

Two men sitting together on a stage decorated with string lights, smiling and pointing at each other in a friendly and playful manner. The background features a curtain of lights, creating a warm and celebratory atmosphere.

In November 2024, COFACE member organisation APF France launched its second season of the short TV programme “Tous en scène pour le Handicap” (All on Stage for Disability)”. After the success of its first season in 2023, 10 new artists and public figures have taken the stage to humorously share real-life stories experienced by members of APF France.

The topics ranged from parenthood, and discrimination to romantic relationships and embracing one’s disability. Through sketches delivered with wit and candor, this season narrates 11 emblematic stories reflecting the situations faced by many people living with disabilities.

In France, disability remains the leading cause of discrimination, with millions of individuals encountering complex, absurd, and far too often hurtful situations every day. This is why, for over 90 years, APF France has been committed to defending the rights of people with disabilities and their families. We fight against the discrimination and stereotypes they endure, and we provide daily support in all areas of life, across the country.
